Building Trust in the News Media
9:40 to 11:10 a.m., Center for Business and Industry, Room C2-28
Join us for a panel discussion with individuals from Resolve Philadelphia and guests for a discussion on trust in the news media. Research released earlier this year by the Knight Commission on Trust, Media and Democracy reported out what many already knew to be true: there is a public crisis around the lack of trust that individuals and communities have in journalism. Hear this topic approached from several different perspectives as the audience engages in the conversation through live polls and real time digital Q&A. Discussion participants will walk away with concrete actions they can take to increase their engagement with journalists and ways to help hold local news outlets accountable for accurate and effective news and information delivery.
